Cast and Credits

Synopsis

A man and a woman live as the survivors after the extinction of the species. Pushed by the desire of elsewhere, the man takes refuge in his imagination. He visits abandoned villages, picks up junk and projects improbable flying machines. The woman observes him from afar. At least until something falls from the sky and bursts into their lives. An unexpected guest that will force them to interrogate themselves about their identity, reality, desire and about the very act of imagining.
